There have been many guests in the house and of course the Weasley’s are always going to feature. When Fred and George were getting the business up and running, they used the house, and Gert, whilst we were not there. There was no need as my uncle was not at the house very much and I was let’s say, in and out, of it too. They were my best friends and they needed a place I couldn’t not lend a hand. Charlie Weasley of course comes and stays on frequent occasions. It is also the place that Albus Dumbledore visited us for health reasons. We had a “known code” that if my uncle went with the person into the basement it meant that the person was sick so it was best to leave, if they went to the study it was because it was Dangerous, Private or Both. If he sighed then I went straight upstairs and waited, if he sighed with a nod then Gert took me away. They may be subtle but to me they were huge hints that something was very very wrong.

Much changed after the Battle of Hogwarts. Attitudes were so different that nobody had a clue what they should do. When lives are lost but you don’t know how to repair anything it becomes scary. The world suddenly became unknown to us. What had been before was no longer. It took me a long time to go back to the house at Knockturn Alley. I had lost many people from it, my Uncle, my Father, my Best Friend. Every room gave me memories that I couldn’t stand to be around. Eventually I found a way back in, well forced is more accurate. The Ministry needed me to sign for but everything was in the house in Knockturn Alley. Arthur Weasley helped me with everything. I couldn’t have done it without him.

I continued with the house. I freed Gert as a house-elf but he decided to remain as an “employed house elf” (basically the only difference is that he can make a choice). It is now the house that I choose as my home to raise my family in. I have made some quite considerable modifications to the decorations but I think it looks nice. I still have the same bedroom that I did when I was a child and we are a happy family.

I am in no way a healer but my uncle taught me well and I help out where I can. My last visitor was Astoria Malfoy, a good friend. As a transfigurist I came up with a different type of potion to help than others have. It did what she wanted, and that was to make her well enough to see her son when he got back from school. It was like going through everything again. But I know it is what they want.
